The Hampton Court Phone Cosy is in the second part of a two part Subscriber Exclusive in the The Knitter Magazine, Issue 73 (part one is in Issue 72).

The criss cross design is reminiscent of the decorative brick work used on Henry VIII’s palace at Hampton Court. The textured pattern is created using twisted stitches over a stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch background.

Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton 4ply in shade 1828, Cyclamen, is perfect for this project. You will need 1 x 100g ball to make the phone cosy (note: the cosy only uses a small amount of yarn).

Subscribers to The Knitter Magazine receive a subscriber exclusive pattern in their magazine every month. The Hampton Court Tote Bag can be found on pages 31 and 32 of Subscriber Issue 72. The Hampton Court Phone Cosy and E-Reader Cosy are on pages 28 and 29 of Subscriber Issue 73.
